Tries at Standard’s $25,000 prize vault begin Monday

THE PRIZE VAULT

The Standard has organized its share of promotions aimed at giving away large sums of money. But never before has the newspaper tried to give away $25,000.

That all ends this Monday at 9 a.m. when the Standard officially has its prize vault available for 680 lucky contestants. These contestants will have anywhere from one to five tries to crack the secret six-digit prize vault combination and unlock $25,000.

“We want somebody to win,” said circulation director and contest organizer Steve Warner. “We’ve already paid the insurance so it’s our hopes we make somebody’s year.”

The Standard used Odds On Promotions based out of Reno, Nev., as its contest insurance provider. Odds On Promotions is known largely for providing insurance for hole-in-one golf promotions.

Anyone who participated in the Standard’s 17-week Pigskin Prognosticator football contest was eligible to have their name randomly selected.
